Configuration; Calling Up The Built-In Web Interface - Devolo Giga Bridge Manual

31 Configuration

4 Configuration
The Giga Bridge has a built-in web interface that
can be called up using a standard web browser.
Here, you can read out device information and
configure settings for operating the Giga Bridge.
Note: The configuration must be carried out
separately for each adapter in the network.
Calling up the web interface and manually
adjusting the settings is only possible if the
Giga Bridge adapters receive an IP address.
This is usually provided by the router, via
DHCP. To receive an IP address, follow the
instructions in Chapter 4.1 Calling up the
built-in web interface.
Note: If the Giga Bridge is connected to the LAN
port of the router, there is no active Internet
connection when you call up the web interface!
The web interface is protected by a key (Device
Password) when called up. You can find the key on
the rear side of the Giga Bridge adapters.
Write down the key of the Giga Bridge
adapters before calling up the web
interface.

4.1 Calling up the built-in web
interface
This enables you to access the built-in web inter-
face for the Giga Bridge:
Remove the end of the network cable that is
1
connected to the WAN port of the router.
Connect the end of the network cable to an
2
available LAN port on the router. The corre-
sponding Giga Bridge adapter will now receive
an IP address.
Removing the network cable from the WAN
port of the router disconnects your Internet
connection. After
Giga Bridge, remember to reconnect the
network cable to the WAN port of the rout-
er.
Open the web interface of the router and
3
check which IP addresses were received by the
adapters of the Giga Bridge in the LAN over-
view. You can recognise the Giga Bridge adapt-
ers by their devolo designation followed by the
last three characters of the serial number, e.g.
devolo-001.
